Greenleaf Yaffs-IMG Manager (formerly Greenleaf Android System IMG Decompressor)

Greenleaf Yaffs-IMG Manager, which was formerly known as Greenleaf Android System IMG Decompressor, is a pretty simple software tool that provides users with a simple manner in which to compress Android system files, as well as unpack them.

Clear-cut interface

After going through a pretty typical installation process, you are met with a pretty simple interface, which closely resembles Windows Explorer’s design. It consists of a menu bar, a few buttons, a navigation panel and another one which enables you to view the contents of a selected directory. Although Help contents are not provided, both beginners and highly experienced people can easily find their way around it without encountering any issues.

Change view and manage archives

This utility enables you to change the view from tiles, to details, list, small icons, extra-large icons, sort them according to name, modified date, type or size, create new items, and bring up file or directory properties with just a click of the button.
In addition to that, Greenleaf Yaffs-IMG Manager enables you to compress a selected Android system directory to a custom location on the hard drive, using a proprietary file format. You can add other files to the pack, or delete some of them with ease, so that you can be sure you only process the items that interest you.
It is possible to extract the files within a created archive with just a few clicks, as well as open it. Last but not least, you can go back or forward with ease, enable an Aero effect or disable it.

A last evaluation

To conclude, Greenleaf Yaffs-IMG Manager is a pretty efficient piece of software when it comes to compressing and unpacking Android system archives in an IMG format. It does not require many system resources in order to run and the interface is intuitive. However, you should know that the response time leaves a lot to be desired.
